Almost 4000 spectators had something to see at Stožice, including the contribution of home fans who momentarily interrupted the game by throwing a massive amount of toilet paper onto the field. However, it seems that an unfortunate incident occurred: Celje’s goalkeeper, Matjaž Rozman, tried to convince the referees that not only toilet paper rolls but also solid objects were thrown onto the field.
Matjaž Rozman ensured that the game was interrupted for a longer period, which didn’t sit well with the coach of Olimpija. However, Zoran Zeljković was critical not only of Celje’s goalkeeper but also of the fans of his own club. He expressed his desire to meet and talk with them.
Zeljković: “I believe we convinced them”
“I know Matjaž Rozman well; he is very experienced, so he knew how to take advantage of this moment. However, I do not excuse the fact that some things were thrown onto the field that don’t belong there. I want to meet with the fans. I am not satisfied with some aspects of their support. I will tell them that. We were in the ascendancy, and then we stopped after the interruption. I believe it was well-intentioned, but I would like to discuss this with them in the future,” said Zoran Zeljković at the press conference after the game, which ended in a 1:1 draw.
Regardless of the mentioned incident, the coach of the dragons from Ljubljana emphasized that he is very satisfied with the attendance and the atmosphere at the country’s largest stadium: “I am very pleased that the attendance was good. The cheering was excellent as well. Fans are probably disappointed, just like us, but on the other hand, they can be satisfied with what was shown and the fighting spirit demonstrated by my players. I believe we convinced them. I hope that there will be more fans at our matches. Everyone in the club is responsible for the increase in attendance. We have had a nice football holiday, an advertisement for football.“
